ConfFix: Repairing Configuration Compatibility Issues in Android Apps

2023

XML configuration files are widely-used to specify the user interfaces (UI) of Android apps. Configuration compatibility (CC) issues are induced owing to the inconsistent handling of such XML configuration files across different Android framework versions. …

Differentially Private Federated Low Rank Adaptation Beyond Fixed-Matrix

2025

Large language models (LLMs) typically require fine-tuning for domain-specific tasks, and LoRA offers a computationally efficient approach by training low-rank adapters. LoRA is also communication-efficient for federated LLMs when multiple users collaboratively fine-tune a global …
